Luo Yuan went back to the hostel in a daze. He fell asleep right after he had his dinner.
For the next two days, there was no news. The accidental explosion of the controllable nuclear fusion power station seemed to have been locked down. Luo Yuan gradually calmed down and stopped thinking about it. After all, it was useless to think too much. No matter how difficult the situation was, he still had to live.
The advent of the apocalypse had taught even the weakest person to be strong. He had already adapted to the pressure.
…
Chen Xinjie seemed to have changed for the past two days. She looked much colder. She purposely kept a distance from him, especially at night. She slept with her clothes on and wrapped herself up tightly. Even if she wanted to wash up, she would wait until Luo Yuan was asleep and snoring before she got up and walked into the bathroom quietly. It was as if she was guarding against a wolf.
Her behavior made Luo Yuan's previous judgment waver.
However, the more Chen Xinjie behaved like this, the more Luo Yuan wanted to do something. Especially when he thought of her pretty face that seemed inviolable and how weak she was a few days ago, it was still vivid in his mind. He could not help but feel tempted.
Coupled with the oppressive atmosphere that he had been experiencing for the past few days, Luo Yuan was even more tempted!
After pretending to be serious for two days, Luo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes when Chen Xinjie came back from the bathroom. He lifted the blanket and touched Chen Xinjie's blanket again. After a weak and silent struggle, Chen Xinjie's body became limp.
After that, Luo Yuan stared blankly at the ceiling. Chen Xinjie was standing next to him with her back facing him.
This time, even he was confused. Looking at the silent Chen Xinjie, he felt guilty. This time, Chen Xinjie did not seduce him. Not only did she not seduce him, but she was also very guarded against him. Could it be that his previous suspicion was wrong?
…
The plan was carefully planned by a few psychologists and human behavior experts to target Luo Yuan's weakness. Of course, there was a follow-up plan. The ultimate goal was to let Chen Xinjie truly enter Luo Yuan's heart and have a place in it. She was not a cheap prostitute that he could summon whenever he wanted. Moreover, she was not someone that Luo Yuan would lose interest in after just one or two times.
Psychology and human behavior were magical because they targeted the weaknesses of human nature. As long as there was desire, no matter how smart one was, one would still fall for it. Before the apocalypse, those tricks were not worth mentioning. Many business tycoons and high-ranking officials who claimed to be elites fell into it and could not see through it.
As for Chen Xinjie, who was relatively conservative, the seduction scene was not perfect and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. However, as a beauty that was sought after since young, it was a piece of cake for her to pretend to be cold and arrogant. Basically, she did not even have to do it on purpose. It was completely her own performance. Even if Luo Yuan thought about it carefully, he would not be able to see through it.
Lying on the bed, Luo Yuan recalled the thrill of having an affair with Chen Xinjie and the wonderful feeling of rejecting him on the bed. His heart skipped a beat and his eyes subconsciously looked at Chen Xinjie's alluring curves as she turned her back to him.
Soon, there was a scream coming from the room!
…
The next morning, Chen Xinjie quietly tidied up the room. She secretly looked at Luo Yuan who was reading the newspaper. She sighed in her heart.
Although Luo Yuan was known to be intimidating in the Firearms Bureau, he was an easy-going person in private. Coupled with his handsome face, perfect body and mysterious aura, she felt like she had fallen in love with him after just a few days of being with him.
Unfortunately, this kind of relationship was not pure. Ever since she accepted the mission, a beautiful relationship had become a fantasy to her.
However, for the stability of the Reconstruction Area, personal feelings were nothing compared to having such a powerful evolved human.
Suddenly, a knock on the door woke her up. She quickly put down her clothes and opened the door. It was the staff of the hostel, "Why is there another newspaper?"
"This is today's special issue."
Chen Xinjie took the newspaper and looked at the title. She was shocked.
"What does it say?" Luo Yuan's voice came from behind.
"Come and take a look." Chen Xinjie quickly passed the newspaper to him. She was shocked.
Luo Yuan took the newspaper and glanced at it, "There was an explosion in the controllable nuclear fusion laboratory."
"On the 5th of December 2015, the controllable nuclear fusion laboratory located in the outskirts of New Capital City exploded due to improper operation. Three academicians and more than 10 senior researchers died in the explosion. Including the managers, there were more than 100 people who died. Due to the destruction of a large amount of data, the research on controllable nuclear fusion will be interrupted and the reconstruction work will be far away.
According to reports … "
Luo Yuan flipped through a few pages and almost all of them were about the incident. There were various details of the investigation, all kinds of accountability, and all kinds of explosive inferences.
As he already knew about this incident, he tried his best to stay calm and was not as shocked as Chen Xinjie. As he read carefully, he became more and more confused. This was not the style of the Reconstruction Area's newspaper.
Since the apocalypse, it had been difficult for humans to survive. The war with the mutated beasts was happening almost every second. Even the civilians had to bear an unimaginably heavy workload. In order to motivate and boost the morale of the people, the newspaper had always reported only the good news and not the bad news. Even if it was such a major incident, it would be the usual style to block the information and use another piece of news to motivate the people. This would cool down the popularity of the news and after a long time, the people would slowly forget about it.
It was strange to see such a different style.
However, Luo Yuan had an answer after thinking for a while.
"Could it be that this incident was really done by the extraterrestrial civilization? In order to confuse the public, they wrote such a different style of newspaper. It seems like the Reconstruction Area found something at the scene of the explosion.
There should be more than one copy of such an important technology like controllable nuclear fusion. Everything was done to show the extraterrestrial civilization that they were weak so that they could move the research to a safer location and continue to develop it secretly. "
He was relieved but he did not know if such a strategy would work. However, the extraterrestrial civilization was not God and it was impossible for them to know everything.
...
In the afternoon, a staff informed them that they could go back. This further confirmed Luo Yuan's speculation. Apparently, the Reconstruction Area had believed his report.
His house arrest was finally over. Luo Yuan did not want to stay in the depressed New Capital City for another day.
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, both of them got off the train and returned to Hope City.
After saying goodbye to Chen Xinjie, Luo Yuan did not go to the Firearms Bureau. Instead, he went home. The house that was quiet after Luo Yuan left suddenly became lively again. Luo Yuan had been calling his family every day for the past few days. Although the ladies were not worried about his sudden departure, they were still worried about him.
Luo Yuan felt a little guilty as he looked at the joy on their faces. He had not thought about them for the past few days, except for the usual phone calls. He had done a lot of things behind their backs.
...
Late at night, Huang Jiahui who was feeling tired had fallen asleep. Luo Yuan opened his eyes and opened the attributes panel. He added the attribute points that he had obtained from the previous level up to his Dexterity. The number 15 next to his Dexterity became 16.
As the usual heat flowed through his body, the familiar sense of alienation from the world appeared again. Huang Jiahui's breathing became slow and long. The ticking of the clock on the wall seemed to have slowed down as well.
He lifted the blanket gently. Time seemed to have slowed down. After a long time, the corner of his back slowly fell down due to gravity.
Then, he stood on the ground with both feet. He didn't dare to exert any force in case he lost control of his strength due to his habit and accidentally hurt Huang Jiahui. He walked slowly, feeling as if his body had become as light as a feather. If he exerted a little force, he could fly.
Of course, it was just an illusion. Unless he used his Will, no matter how strong he was, he would not be able to escape the gravity of the earth.
He closed the bedroom door and quietly walked out of the house. He had learned his lesson last time and did not dare to test it out here.
Although it was late at night, Hope City was still very noisy. Every factory was brightly lit. Most of the factories on the ground were heavy industries that had serious pollution. Some of the heavy machines that weighed more than ten tons or even hundreds of tons were roaring. It was deafening in the middle of the night.
However, the sound was strange to Luo Yuan. It was like a cassette recorder that was distorted.
16 points of Dexterity was 11.4 times that of a normal person. One second for a normal person could be divided into 11.4 seconds for Luo Yuan.
If there was a need, he could brush his teeth in five seconds and wash his face in one second. It might take longer for him to have a meal, but it would not take him more than 30 seconds.
Compared to a normal person, it was like they were living in a different time dimension. However, he was still living in a normal person's world. He could only try his best to adapt to the slow pace of a normal person. As his Dexterity increased, it became harder and more painful to adapt.
